Him standing up to Yuko back then isn't that special since she was playing the role of loving mother. It didn't take long for Yuko to strike back and strike back hard. The way she revealed to him she isn't his mother and that he has no blood relation with Reiji whatsoever was brutal.

I am surprised that Ms. Shiba's really turned around; I thought for sure she'd turn into Yuko's puppet one more good time until Reiji came back. Can't believe she saved Kazu too. I feel its different from what she wanted with Reiji initially, since that just seemed like a pretense to shackle him to her, but with Kazu, it seemed much more sincere.
Yuko is not gonna like that one bit. But I'm most curious at what Yuko can do at this point; all of her pawns are gone. Kazu, Gen's father, Gen, Yuri.... she has no one. Even if she wanted to get rid of Ms. Shiba, even without considering Yuko never gets her hands dirty, or, her physical condition after the accident, she would have no way of dealing with her. So I'm curious what Yuko's next move will be. Maybe go to Tokyo?

Still, I'm impressed at her ability to manipulate the scenario with truths and prob half-lies, considering how much she was sabotaged in a single night. As far as swaying goes, its a definite coin-flip for me. I mean, if nothing else, the drama must go on. Spoiler:

I think what really got to Yuri is the whole suicide angle. In a series where almost everyone wants to kill themselves, she has always been very anti-suicide. Of course there's also jealousy involved because she never managed to make Reiji forget about Nagi.
Nagi basically makes all the girls seethe. She's the only one who can defeat Yuko because she has no insecurities to exploit. If Yuko's an abyss, Nagi is a void.

Yuko's face when she heard the doorbell and thought it was Reiji coming back... she really does love him, in her own twisted way.
She want way too far suggesting Yuri should have a child with Reiji to replace Kazu, that was the exact moment Yuri told herself "this bitch is fucking crazy". Curious what the story has in store for Yuri, feels like she hasn't really gone off the deep end.

Side note I missed in hindsight; "Filling the gap" as she says is quite a telling phrase to me. I wonder does this hold a clue to how Yuko thinks.

Yeah, this opened the door into Yuko's psyche. I didn't think it'd be possible, and maybe I'm just a sucker, but I actually felt sorry for her. It felt like she's had the short end of the stick even before her brother left(which seemed to be before Akira came to town). I mean, sure, it doesn't justify all of the s*** she's pulled, especially making Gen into a murderer, but at least her actions make some kind of sense, given her past. The empathy came full force when Reiji came back from the beach and gave her that hug; hard to think of her as anything but a loving mother(well, until the next panel ofc ).
The only thing that doesn't quite line up for me is that she attributed leaving the town as this forbidden thing that will guarantee you'll be unhappy, but her brother seems like he's had a decent life. What events you are referring to? The past arc PoV from Yuko's perspective?

Ch 121 showed us a key moment that shaped her but it's not enough to explain her turning into a full blown sociopath.
